GC’s Wiedeman Selected to PBC Second Team

Mar 04, 2011

AIKEN, S.C. – It’s been quite a
career for Georgia College men’s basketball senior forward
Reece Wiedeman (Suwanee, Ga.) all the way from
redshirted walk-on to an All-Peach Belt Conference (PBC) Second
Team selection. Wiedeman was named to the second team at Friday
night’s conference awards banquet.

Wiedeman won’t blow you away with sheer numbers. His 12.0
points per game and 5.4 rebounds per contest overall are boosted
slightly to 12.9 and 5.6 in PBC contests. Where Wiedeman made his
mark this season is coming to play in some of the more important
games of the year for Bobcat men’s basketball.

On the biggest stage, when GC took on the then-No. 7 and
eventual PBC Champion Augusta State University squad, Wiedeman
dominated the front line of the Jaguars, posting 25 points and
eight rebounds to lead the Bobcats to a stunning 73-69 upset.

In the midst of the Bobcats’ six-game win streak that
solidified GC in the PBC playoff picture, Wiedeman had double-digit
scoring in five of the six, including the ASU gem and a 23-point,
10-rebound double-double against Columbus State University for
Homecoming.

All-time, the Bobcats have now put 27 players on the All-PBC
list. The last Bobcat post player to bring home the honor was
Aaron Clark in 2008. GC has now put at least one
player on the postseason conference honors list for six straight
seasons.

The Georgia College Department of Athletics, back-to-back
winners of the PBC Commissioner's Cup, sponsors 10 varsity athletic
programs at the NCAA Division II level. As a Division II program,
Bobcat Athletics prides itself on balancing the life of the
